[目的/意义]社交网络(SNS)的悄然兴起引起了学术交流的结构性变化,对交流数据进行挖掘和分析,能够识别社会网络环境下非正式的学术组织——无形学院新的形态结构与特点。[方法/过程]引入社会网络分析方法和信息可视化技术,以科学网活跃博主之一武夷山为例,首先通过对其"好友关系"以及"二级好友(好友之好友)关系"数据的挖掘,对社交网络环境下所形成的无形学院进行探测。其次,从交流方式、人员构成和知识传播3个方面探讨社交网络环境下无形学院的形态结构与特点。[结果/结论]研究发现,"学术博客"作为伴随社交网络而诞生的非正式学术交流工具,是无形学院的一种新的表达方式,它改变了知识的存储与管理;相比较于传统无形学院的人员构成,更加不受学科、地域等方面的限制;知识由无序、零散的扩散转向有序、定向的传播。
